Ooh, cool rug. My grandmother braids rugs (and knits and crochets literally 20 things a week). I love all those sorts of crafts. I'm currently working on cross-stitching bear ornaments. I have the opposite problem though - I can't stop! Not even when my hand is swollen and my shoulder hurts. Mum and I craft together, she's knitting a sweater right now. We usually do it while watching movies or DVDS (recently, the third season of due South).

*does not have an appropriate due South icon* Curse you LJ and your limited icon space!

Anyway, yay for due South! It's weird, I live in Canada and I have only met a handful of people who watch/watched due South in my neighbourhood. I was introduced to it by my brother's fiancée, who is a huge fan. I've met more people at livejournal (most of them not Canadian) who are fans than here, in Canada, where it was originally aired. The great thing about due South is, if you watch any other show made in Canada, you will find a due South actor on them at some point. They're everywhere. My friend's cousin, Polly Shannon, was on due South and in Men With Brooms (she was the rent-a-date). My brother's fiancée met Polly recently and Polly said 'she's very quiet isn't she?' and my friend said 'oh, she's just trying not to ask you about Paul Gross'. :D
